Use one ticket per issue and wait for the email response. #### Best Practices * For fake reviews, check Google's content policy first — flagging a review doesn't guarantee removal. * For review extortion, go straight to the dedicated extortion report form. It's a different team. * If your account is suspended, file a reinstatement request — don't just create a new listing, it makes things worse. Reporting a review will not guarantee it will be removed from your listing. You can flag a review by following these steps in your Google Business Profile. ## You're done when * You identified the exact issue type. * You submitted the matching Google form. * You filed one ticket and are awaiting the email response.
